Font choice for speech bubbles 1/5
Ability to give reader second hand embarrassment 5/5

I will say this is an oddity in every way. Like the idea of presenting a cookbook being presented in this oddly satirical memoir-isc style is hard to really jump into. Especially since this book doesn't feign from trying to make you die from second hand embarrassment early on.

The sheer level of discomfort I felt at times was a bit much, but you can tell that food is something that Long is truly passionate for and it shows on nearly every page.
I actually learned quite a bit while reading this, but I honestly can't imagine recommending this book to someone, let alone purchasing it for someone.
